Network-based cooperation involving actors with various institutional and personal affiliations is considered a promising strategic approach to successful integration. To showcase interesting and innovative networks and their respective approach, the ERASMI project created a Compendium of Good Practices based on a Europe wide survey of 55 networks in the field of migrant and refugee inclusion. The compendium demonstrates the diversity of approaches that can lead to successful network-based cooperation and aims to contribute to the professionalization and capacity building of networks. The following key success factors could be identified:

  • appropriate internal and external communication,
  • professional coordination and network management,
  • established measures for sustainability,
  • a heterogeneous composition and participatory network design,
  • and the ability to successfully cope with external challenges.
